This post will explain you about Phishing which came across me when I used to learn hacking related stuffs. In this post I will be explaining you mode of operation of Phishing starting from scratch. Though phishing is old ,it poses as a great threat in the world wild wide web. For security it is needed to get into the source loop holes. So, lets start without wasting much time.

Definition
Phishing is simply the act of creating fake page of any legitimate web-service and host them on net in order to fool the user to get the passwords, credit card no .,social security no. etc

Requirements

1. Web browser (mozilla firefox, internet explorer)

2. Text editor (ex: notepad ,kwrite)

3. Knowledge of basic HTML and some scripting languages like php, javascript etc.

4. Web hosting resource

Mode of operation::
I will provide quite simple steps.

1.The source code of the target website is obtained by using in built function of web browsers .

Ex: For mozilla firefox page source code can be obtained by
option 1) by navigating to page source present in edit tab.
option 2) pressing ctrl+u
option 3) right clicking and selecting view page source

2. All the source code is copied into an editor.

3. Now , the action attribute of form element is searched.

• Form elements are elements that allow the user to enter information (like text fields of username ,password , textarea fields, drop-down menus, radio buttons, checkboxes, etc.) in a form.

•When the user clicks on the "Submit" button, the content of the form is sent to the server. The form's action attribute defines the name of the file to send the content to. The file defined in the action attribute usually does something with the received input.

5. From the above explanation it is quite clear that by editing the action attribute we can send information (like user account information) .

6. As the last step ,manipulated web page is hosted in the web and victims are made to use them using some social engineering technique.

social engineering ::Social engineering is a collection of techniques used to motivate people into performing actions that will reveal confidential information.

Prevention
1. Don't blindly believe any kind of mail without authenticity.
2. While logging in give a close look at the domain name
3. Change your passwords regularly.
4. Use some web-site advisory software (now a days comes with internet security softwares).ex:Wot
5. Always be alert.

A common security concern at organizations is allowing users to plug in a usb flash drive, because they could so easily copy corporate data.
Since Windows XP SP2, you can disable writing to USB devices altogether using a simple registry hack.
Here it is:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies]
“WriteProtect”=dword:00000001

Apparently you won't have to wait until January to get your hands on the Windows 7 Beta release.That's right, there's already been an ISO file leaked to several torrent trackers.

The ISO appears to contain the Windows 7 M1 build (7000) . So far the new build seems to perform slightly better than 6801, and memory usage has been improved. A number of previously hidden features - like the iconized task bar - are also now active.

Before you start asking why there's no link to the file, it's because this is something that we're not supposed to have yet. If you want to get your hands on it, check your favorite torrent search site. Also keep in mind that this is a leak, and there's always the possibility that the ISO has been tampered with.

.nbu files are the backup files created when you create the backup for your Nokia Mobile. It is created using Nokia PC suite and later can be restored to your phone. Only problem is we can’t open the .nbu files without any nokia device.

To overcome this problem we have one software called NOKI. From their site:

Noki is a utility to explore and extract Phone book, SMS, Calendar, Memo, Bookmark and other user files from the backup file of Nokia phone (using Nokia PC Suite).

Features:

* Supports .nbu, .nfb and .nfc.
* contacts.cdb: Symbian Contacts Database for all Symbian phones (include Nokia, Siemens, Sony Ericsson etc.).
* backup.arc: mass storage/SD card backup file.
* Softpedia security certified.

Download

This is the easiest one but for those who don’t know…

* Click on Start.
* Open Control Panel.
* Go to Folder Options.
* Click on view tab.
* Check “Hidden files and folders: Show all files and folders”.
* Uncheck “Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)”.
* Click “Apply” and then “OK”.

Following three simple steps now you can get rid of Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) notifications:

1. Reboot Windows in safe mode (hold the f8 key while booting and you will get the option to boot in safe mode) and then:

2. Open Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and search for wgalogon folder and delete it. You should backup up the registry beforehand, in case somethiong goes wrong.

3. In your windows directory search for files wga* and delete them.
You are done!

Now reboot back normally and continue your work. Windows Genuine Advantage will not bother you anymore.

Warning: Use at your own risk. Backup everything before you do.

Dan Moren of Uneasy Silence first posted about the apparent data sniffing on Wednesday night. Using a program for Mac OS called Little Snitch, he was able to discover Adobe's hidden practice.

The data transmission was discovered in Adobe InDesign CS3 for Mac.In any case, at first glance the address may look like a IP address, and a local one if that. In many routers, 192.168.xxx.xxx is used for internal networking. However this address looks different.Data is sent to 192.168.112.2O7.net.

Two things would appear immediately awry to the experienced eye: first, no IP address includes any alphabetic characters in it, this address includes the letter 'O' in place of a zero. Second, it ends in '.net,' and no IP address ends in any kind of DNS suffix.

So where does this data apparently go? Loading up the address itself in a web browser takes the surfer to a page owned by Ominture, a large web analytics company."Yes, Adobe is watching how many times you open your programs. Adobe is spying on users application habits," Moren wrote.

Apparently, Adobe has already addressed this through an article on its Devnet site. It says it uses Omniture to track usage of an application to 'create better user experiences.'

Everyone knows that adobe flash is spyware,google toolbar is spyware, free firewalls and antivirals are spywares too. I see we're back on the privacy kick once again. If you're connected to the net you don't have any privacy. If you think you do, you're exceedingly naive. Slashdot had an article about cable and DSL suppliers monitoring their customers use of bit torrent for file sharing and shutting down those who do. That means you are being watched. If that scares you, you need to stop using your computer. There are way too many people on the net anyway.

Command #1: By typing in 'tree' into Dos, you can view all of the folders (not files) on the computer or User. Pretty cool but then again pretty worthless. Just a cool thing to know.

Command #2: By typing in 'ipconfig' you can view your default gateway ip adress for your router. This is really only useful if you are good with the computer and are trying to fix your internet connection, you can look at what's wrong.

Command #3: By typing in 'format c:' you can delete all the information on your hard drive, if you want to start new or something, but dont do that just to be an idiot.

Command #4: By typing in 'netstat' or 'nbtstat' (both similar) you can view the TCP/IP

Learn about search engines

A search engine is an information retrieval system designed to help find information stored on a computer system. Search engines help to minimize the time required to find information and the amount of information which must be consulted, akin to other techniques for managing information overload.While researchers and developers take a broader view of IR systems, consumers think of them more in terms of what they want the systems to do — namely search the Web, or an intranet, or a database.

Search engines match queries against an index that they create. The index consists of the words in each document, plus pointers to their locations within the documents. This is called an inverted file. A search engine or IR system comprises four essential modules:

* A document processor
* A query processor
* A search and matching function
* A ranking capability

While users focus on “search,” the search and matching function is only one of the four modules. Each of these four modules may cause the expected or unexpected results that consumers get when they use a search engine.

Read detailed abt this on - www.infotoday.com/searcher/may01/liddy.htm

The term “search engine” is often used generically to describe both crawler-based search engines and human-powered directories. These two types of search engines gather their listings in radically different ways.

Crawler-based search engines, such as Google, create their listings automatically. They “crawl” or “spider” the web, then people search through what they have found.

If you change your web pages, crawler-based search engines eventually find these changes, and that can affect how you are listed. Page titles, body copy and other elements all play a role.

A man-powered directory, such as the Open Directory, depends on humans for its listings.

You submit a short description to the directory for your entire site, or editors write one for sites they review. A search looks for matches only in the descriptions submitted.

Changing your web pages has no effect on your listing. Things that are useful for improving a listing with a search engine have nothing to do with improving a listing in a directory.

The only exception is that a good site, with good content, might be more likely to get reviewed for free than a poor site.

“Hybrid Search Engines” Or Mixed Results

In the web’s early days, it used to be that a search engine either presented crawler-based results or human-powered listings. Today, it extremely common for both types of results to be presented. Usually, a hybrid search engine will favor one type of listings over another.

For example, MSN Search is more likely to present human-powered listings from LookSmart.

However, it does also present crawler-based results (as provided by Inktomi), especially for more obscure queries.

The Parts Of A Crawler-Based Search Engine
Crawler-based search engines have three major elements. First is the spider, also called the crawler. The spider visits a web page, reads it, and then follows links to other pages within the site. This is what it means when someone refers to a site being “spidered” or “crawled.” The spider returns to the site on a regular basis, such as every month or two, to look for changes.

Everything the spider finds goes into the second part of the search engine, the index. The index, sometimes called the catalog, is like a giant book containing a copy of every web page that the spider finds. If a web page changes, then this book is updated with new information.

Sometimes it can take a while for new pages or changes that the spider finds to be added to the index. Thus, a web page may have been “spidered” but not yet “indexed.” Until it is indexed — added to the index — it is not available to those searching with the search engine.

Search engine software is the third part of a search engine. This is the program that sifts through the millions of pages recorded in the index to find matches to a search and rank them in order of what it believes is most relevant. You can learn more about how search engine software ranks web pages on the aptly-named How Search Engines Rank Web Pages page.

Major Search Engines: The Same, But Different
All crawler-based search engines have the basic parts described above, but there are differences in how these parts are tuned. That is why the same search on different search engines often produces different results. Some of the significant differences between the major crawler-based search engines are summarized on the Search Engine Features Page.

The Search Engines ability to find corrections is with the help of a function called “levenshtein”.

The function can take two strings as parameter and calculates just the number of insert, replace and delete operations needed to transform one string to another.
soundex and metaphone are two other similar functions.

What is SQL Injection?"An attack technique used to exploit web sites by altering backend SQL statements through manipulating application input.

"SQL Injection happens when a developer accepts user input that is directly placed into a SQL Statement and doesn't properly filter out dangerous characters. This can allow an attacker to not only steal data from your database, but also modify and delete it. Certain SQL Servers such as Microsoft SQL Server contain Stored and Extended Procedures (database server functions). If an attacker can obtain access to these Procedures it may be possible to compromise the entire machine. Attackers commonly insert single qoutes into a URL's query string, or into a forms input field to test for SQL Injection. If an attacker receives an error message like the one below there is a good chance that the application is vulnerable to SQL Injection.

Speed Up Windows XP Shutdown

Does your Windows XP take endless long to Shutdown? This is mainly because whenever you attempt to shutdown Windows XP, it will wait for all running applications to close. If they stop responding, you’ll get the end task warnings and you either manually kill the task or wait for Windows to kill it.
which automatically kills non-responding apps instantly without interrupting the shutdown process. Before attempting this hack, please have a backup of your registry, just in-case something gets screwed up.

1.Open Registry Editor from Start > Run and type “regedit” (without quotes)

2.Expand the Registry Editor Tree and find HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

3.Edit AutoEndTasks Key from the right pane and assign to value to 1 (by default the value is 0)

Now, if you want to revert it back, just re-assign the value of AutoEndTasks Key to 0 or simple delete that key. Apart from the above hack, you can improve the shutdown/bootup speed by disabling unwanted service.

this is a very easy but an awesome Trick. When you or someone else enters an incorrect login multiple times then Yahoo! locks the account for “security reasons” and you are unable to access your chat names. Cool thing is that, these are a piece of cake to unlock.All you need is a list of Yahoo servers to log in with. Every time you login, you are using what’s called a server to access yahoo. You login with a cookie, which is sort of like an information packet or ID proving that you are who you claim to be, and the account is yours.When people attempt to log your name in multiple times with a locking tool, all they are doing is logging in over and over with an incorrect password until your cookie expires, which means you will no longer be allowed to login. So, when you find yourself locked, what you need to do is refresh your cookie. But how can you do that when the yahoo server you were using has blocked you?Simple, find another server. Yahoo has servers all over the place. There are more than I’d care to count. I’ll include a pretty decent sized list with this tutorials. All you have to do is paste one of these servers in your browser and log in on the page you see. Unless you have been locked on that server as well, you will receive a fresh cookie and will be able to log in to messenger again.Tons of people try to go through their email and login there to unlock an account, but a smart locker will shut down your mail server first, then cut off your chat server. Most people don’t know what to do if the email is blocked, so they give up trying. That’s why I don’t even bother with the email method. I simply pick another server, log in, and I’m good to go. There are so many servers out there that it is impossible to lock them all. Even if they could, the lock is only for about 12 hours, and then you’re back in business.Some Yahoo Servers :

1.Let your PC boot up completely before opening any applications.

2.Refresh the desktop after closing any application. This will remove any unused files from the RAM.

3.Do not set very large file size images as your wallpaper. Do not keep a wallpaper at all if your PC is low on RAM (less than 64 MB).

4.Do not clutter your Desktop with a lot of shortcuts. Each shortcut on the desktop uses up to 500 bytes of RAM

5.Empty the recycle bin regularly. The files are not really deleted from your hard drive until you empty the recycle bin.

6.Delete the temporary internet files regularly.

7.Defragment your hard drive once every two months. This will free up a lot of space on your hard drive and rearrange the files so that your applications run faster.

8.Always make two partitions in your hard drive. Install all large Softwares (like PSP, Photoshop, 3DS Max etc) in the second partition. Windows uses all the available empty space in C drive as virtual memory when your Computer RAM is full. Keep the C Drive as empty as possible.

9.When installing new Softwares disable the option of having a tray icon. The tray icons use up available RAM, and also slow down the booting of your PC. Also disable the option of starting the application automatically when the PC boots. You can disable these options later on also from the Tools or preferences menu in your application.

10. Protect your PC from dust. Dust causes the CPU cooling fan to jam and slow down thereby gradually heating your CPU and affecting the processing speed. Use compressed air to blow out any dust from the CPU. Never use vacuum.

You might have fallen in a situation where you have accidentally deleted any file/folder from your computer and wanted to recover it back. Here is a freeware forwindows called Recuva Data Recovery software to restore files that have been accidentally deleted from your computer.This includes files emptied from the Recycle bin as well as images and other files that have been deleted by user error from digital camera memory cards or MP3 players. It will even bring back files that have been deleted from your iPod, or by bugs, crashes and viruses.

Phising is the most difficult item to trace, and the most complex.

It is a two part procedure:

1) A site is hacked and a 'phishing' page set up...it is supposed to look identical to a Bank, or PayPal, or a credit card institution's main page.

2) Another site (typically on another server) is again exploited, this time for spamming purposes.

The spam will typically direct you to the phishing page, where the victims type in their information, and are kicked out.

From there it's a matter of cleaning out bank accounts and getting the money where it can't be taken back.

The hard part is there are dozens of phishing central sites and the phishing/spamming sites are blocked or filtered when users report such links found phishing.

A phishing link will usually try to direct you to a fraudulent website that mimics the appearance of a popular website or company. The spoof website will request your personal information, such as credit card number, Social Security number, or account password.
You think you are giving information to a trusted company when, in fact, you are supplying it to an online criminal.

Deceptive URLs.
Be cautious. Some fraudsters will insert a fake browser address bar over the real one, making it appear that you’re on a legitimate website .

Make sure there is a secure lock icon in the status bar at the bottom of the browser window. Many fake sites will put this icon inside the window to deceive you.What You Can Do

1) Pass this info through emails and chat services

2) Post on every Blog/Bulletin board the sites that are hacked so they get taken care of.

3) Post HERE what you find.

4) Report it to Anti-Phishing Working Group

All the popular browsers like Mozilla Firefox , Opera ,Internet Explorer have got protection against the reported and known phishing links.

Windows XP gives the user a couple ways to log into the computer. You can use the traditional or classic method of typing in the username and password to login or you can use what's called the Welcome Screen to login.

What if you want to change the way your computer logs in, can you disable or enable this Welcome Screen?

The Windows XP Welcome Screen is tied to another feature called "Fast User Switching".This feature lets a user leave all his programs running if another user needs to use the computer.

The first user can Log Off the session and Switch User back to the Welcome Screen so that another person can use the computer.

When the second person is done, the user can switch back to his profile with all the programs still running where they left off.

In order to use this feature, you have to use the Welcome Screen.

However, if you dont need or want this feature, follow the instructions below to remove the Welcome Screen.To do this follow the directions below:Remove the Welcome Screen

If you dont want to use "Fast User Switching", you may want to disable the Welcome Screen.You must be logged in as an Administrator to do this.To do this follow the directions below:

1) Click on Start

2) Click on Control Panel

3) Double-click on User Accounts

4) Click on "Change the way users log on or off"

5) Uncheck "Use the Welcome Screen"(Note: this will also disable "Fast User Switching")

6) Click on Apply Options

7) Close the User Accounts window and the Control Panel

8) The next time you reboot your computer, the classic login prompt will be used

What if I dont want the Welcome Screen OR the classic prompt?

Can I disable both?To Login automatically to a user account, follow the instructions below:

1) Click on Run

2) Type in the following command
control userpasswords2
and click OK

3) Highlight the user you want to log into automatically, then uncheck the box for"Users must enter a username and password to use this computer"4) Click on Apply and you'll be asked to verify the username and password to log in automatically5) Click OK and the next time you restart your computer, you'll automatically be logged in without having the classic prompt or Welcome Screen.Is there a utility I can use to accomplish this?You can download a utility for Windows XP called TweakUI that will allow you to change the way you log into Windows XP, along with allowing you to change alot of other features.You can download TweakUI for Windows XP from the Microsoft Powertoys web page at:

Deleting a file in Windows doesn't mean that it disappears forever. The system simply marks the space as free again, but the actual file is still there and can easily be recovered with the appropriate software.So if you want to make sure your deleted files can't be recovered later on, use Freeraser, an alternative Recycle Bin for Windows that erases files securely so that they can't be retrieved with a recovery tool. The program features a nicely-designed resizable icon with transparency effects, which looks much better than the standard Windows bin.Freeraser supports three deletion methods (fast, forced and ultimate) and works really efficiently. Just bear in mind that you need to be sure you want to delete those files: although the program lets you stop the deleting process, it doesn't have an "undo" option. Also, it would be great to have it included in Windows context menu, just like the Windows Recycle bin is.
